(Broken Widgets) *2023-12-17* As a casual fan of “Swatch Internet Time”, I really appreciate apps like this one, that let me easily find out what time it is online, without needing to open a web browser. In my experience, it has been an accurate and reliable method of checking the time when I need to surf the net. That being said, I can’t say I give this app my full praise. My main criticism of this app is the fact that it’s widgets don’t seem to work. The purpose of the widgets. I briefly put this app’s widgets on my home and lock screen, so I could easily check the time on the internet, without even needing to open the app. However, I quickly discovered that these widgets, while accurate at time of placement, seemed to remain static, not updating as time passed, and quickly becoming inaccurate. This seems like a huge oversight, and while I was hopeful this would be patched in a not-too-distant update, said update has simply never come. I downloaded this app with the specific goal of placing internet time widgets on my home screen, so this came as a huge letdown to me. This isn’t my only criticism, a more minor issue I have with the app is that I can’t say I’m a fan of it’s design, which I find rather unappealing in it’s colour choices. However, I do recognise this is a “me issue”, and a matter of taste. You might find the aesthetics more favourable than I do, in which case, more power to you, I hope you enjoy what I fail to. But I still can’t help but feel a little dissatisfied with the appearance of this app. Overall, If you’re someone with an interest in Swatch’s Internet Time like myself, I would recommend this app to you. But I think these flaws are important to note, and I hope they get fixed sometime in the near future. I love the concept of Internet Time, and would love to see this app reach it’s full potential. But until then, I’ll simply have to accept the app’s flaws. ### 3/5 — Solid app, but missing widget support *2021-12-13* This is a solid app for tracking Internet Time (@Beats) and converting to hours and minutes, but the screenshots indicate it supports modern iOS widgets and it does not. Otherwise, it's a useful to, but not if you want to track @Beats on your Home Screen. **Developer response:** Hi Zepfhyr, Thanks for using BeatTime and for your comment. I am very surprise, the app supports modern Widget. Please contact me to see why you don’t have it. ### 4/5 — Nice, but can’t use with older watch *2025-01-21* I have an older Apple Watch that can’t be updated past watchOS v8.8.1. I’d really like to use beats on my watch. Could the devs please make it compatible? ### 4/5 — Alarms would be nice *2024-01-10* Love the app. It’s minimal and pretty. I would pay money to have an alarm function. **Developer response:** Good news: now you can set alarm notifications! ### 4/5 — Widget is delayed *2024-01-06* The widget is always like 3 beats behind. ### 4/5 — Widgets need work *2023-12-26, version 1.3* App is great, but the colour choice does not appear to carry over to the widget (and is difficult to interpret in dark mode by default). Converter is a nice addition. ### 4/5 — Great app, but problems with widgets *2023-11-22, version 1.3* App works perfectly and is simple to use. However, the widgets do not always update frequently enough, sometimes falling tens of beats behind the actual time. I imagine this an issue with Apple throttling widget updates rather than an app-specific problem. ### 4/5 — Decimal time *2023-10-04, version 1.3* The only part that is missing in the metric system is a decimal based time system. The beats are doing exactly that. I'm qhite happy that this app exists. I can use it as a widget and always think about a better universe, where I could live in with a decimal time system. ### 4/5 — Widget issue *2022-12-24* I like having an app and a widget that tells the time in beats, but there is an issue with the widget. It sometimes shows a few minutes behind. **Developer response:** Indeed. That’s a limitation due to the way Apple Widget works. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Marche bien sur Apple Watch Ultra *2025-08-14, version 2.2* Merci bien! ### 5/5 — Beat is Best *2025-04-28* I have wanted this for ages and am so glad that this finally exists. Been obsessed with .beat time ever since my Phantasy Star Online days. Used to have a Pebble smartwatch that had a .beat time watch face and was sad there didn’t seem to be an equivalent when I made the switch to the Apple Watch. Thank you for bringing this joy back into my life! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2024-05-04* Thank you for this app! It would be great to have an apple watch version of it! ### 5/5 — Swatch Beat Time *2024-04-01* Love having this app. I don’t really need it, but Beat time was a cool innovation by Swatch Group and hope that one day it will be the universal global time. ### 5/5 — Beats *2023-07-13* Works exactly as indicated. If you are here, looking for this, you’ve found it. Surprising, I know. ### 5/5 — Keeping the dream alive! *2023-05-04* I know it will never happen. I realize the world as we know it cannot handle swatch @beat internet time. I feel like it’s the future and I’m thankful that developers like YOU keep the dream alive. Thanks for making the app and for widgetizing using it. **Developer response:** Pleasure is mine. Thanks for your message ! ### 5/5 — Cool ! *2021-06-02* J’ai rien compris mais l’application fonctionne bien et elle a l’air cool. Ce jeune développeur m’a l’air tout à fait prometteur ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
